New submission from Robert Byrnes: In Python/import.c, open_exclusive unlinks any existing bytecode file before opening to create a new one.
However, py_compile.compile doesn't unlink before opening, and therefore fails if an existing bytecode file is unwritable. It would be nice to unlink first in this case too. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 257142 nosy: byrnes priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: py_compile.compile fails if existing bytecode file is unwritable type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25970> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
